A defined area of geographical coverage is commonly called an area network. Which of the area networks below is the largest in area covered?
Modbus has standard command codes to allow the master to access information from it's slaves. Which of the commands below would be used to write the contents of a coil to the slave device?
There are many options to choose from for alarm attributes. Which of the following alarm attributes would best be described as an alarm that is cleared after the process has been normalized for a period of time?
The TCP/IP protocol was designed for simplicity and speed. Which of the OSI layers below does the TCP/IP protocol interact with?
There are several data access methods used to transmit data. Which of the answers below can be described as a method that the responding device cannot initiate any communication independently?

Which of the DeviceNet components below is best described as being used where cable shielding and ingress protection is not needed?
DCS commonly is considered a computerised control system for a plant that has central operator supervisory control. Which of the terms below is best described as a system that allows for exchange of data throughout, but can have remote systems within the system?
Which of the answers below best represents the recommended standard that uses a UART chip?
